Great/g Grandmother Mary Maddern
My G/G Granmother's parents were married in the St Buryan Church on 31st Oct 1814, they were Richard Maddern & Mary Bennetts. I visited the area in 1997 and found it beautiful. I live in Rutherglen Aust. The old Madderns came to Australia with their children and are buried in Ballarat Cemetery. 2 of their sons were sadly killed in a mining accident in Ballarat. My G/G Grandmother Mary Maddern married Martin Edwards Trezise in St Just and migrated to Australia. Mary Maddern was also born in St Buryan.

I Wish I Had One! A memory of Mousehole, Cornwall This town is where my ancestors started to spread far and wide, beginning in 18th century or thereabouts. Some distant cousins still live there, I'm sure. Posted: 04/12/2006 09:11 by Geoff Drew |

Year: 1860s
Oil Painting A memory of Land's End, Cornwall My mother in law has an oil painting in her house titled "Land's End" which looks like this photo. It was painted by someone called "Mitchell". Wondering if anyone out there may know anything about this painting and its artist. Sounds like it has a great history. Last edited: 03/11/2008 09:24 |

 Land's End, the First and Last House c1925 (ref: 61290B) |
Year: 1940s
First & Last Forever A memory of Land's End, Cornwall I have a photo of my glamorous mother in front of the First and Last House when three lines once sprawled across its roof— H O U S E I N E N G L A N D . ‘fore the plain structure amid stark sky. Land’s End winds forever blow her hair— The concept of a first and last house first captured my mind when I was a child. It will remain with me until my last breath.

Saving The Shipwrecked Sailors A memory of Land's End, Cornwall Robert and Donald Mapleston and were excellent swimmers. (Their sister, my Great Grandmother, Anne Mapleston Jackson, passed away in 1944.) They lit bonfires to warn the ships, but when a ship wrecked they used a large rope and swam it out to pull the shipwrecked sailers back to shore. Family story also tells that they taught Kaiser Wilhelm to swim and dive and he rewarded them with silk robes with a dragon on the back. This instruction may have been in the early 1900s, unless the Kaiser was visiting in England prior to his famous visit in 1903. My Uncle told me these histories, saying he had seen one of the robes when he was young, but isn't sure what happened to it. His name was Robert Donald, in honor of his Great-Uncles.
